does a pre-made shake lose its taste and value?

Can you get one of those blender ball shakers? They work really well (we have 4 now). You can prob go to the farthest room away from her and shake away! (I go to the bathroom to mix the shakes when I don't want to wake anyone up.)

Oh No...No worries there. I had a Jar open for almost 3 months with no noticeable difference in taste. So you know...this is the third time I have purchased this product :)

Nope, tastes just fine. I am sure if you left it in there for several days at a time it might? But I never did so I am not sure about that.

I know the flavor is not that good but the results are worth it. When I was making the shake, I used one banana or 1/2 plus other fruit. I also used cantelope, pineapple or kiwi. This helped improve the taste.

Mix it in a blender! Always it will turn just about anything into a shake, or tastes like a shake!

I used to drink a protein shake each morning, mixing two tablespoons of protein powder with 8 oz of soy milk using one of those plastic shaker bottles. I started using the Psyllium Husk instead of the protein powder and I find the results to be WAY better. The husks will not dissolve but if that really bothers you try letting it sit until the mixture sets up and then eat it with a spoon. I find it has a slight Cream of Wheat taste. There are also flavorings you can buy for the protein shakes that can enhance the taste.

The actual mix is like a vanilla flavor. I haven't had a plain shake on its own, I like adding in jello pudding mixes for flavors. It picks up whatever flavor of what you mix, but you can still taste the hint of vanilla--you can find a ton of recipes online. Personally I do not feel its gritty like some people have said, perhaps because I like malts (which tend to be gritty), I just don't notice it. Also, some say its just too sweet. I love sweet, but I think too it could be if you use water, milk, almond or soy milk. Using ice and certain flavors I feel it tastes like a blended frozen drink from starbucks or an icecream shop. I think meal replacement drinks like slim fast are watery, with the frozen blending it totally adds more consistency and you can make it taste anyway you want.

If it stays in the flask for a long duration of time, the taste will linger. You should wash out the flask with some water as soon as you are done with the beverage so the smell or taste doesn't linger. Remember this, coffee is the biggest offender!

Depending on how you make the shake, milk uses less and water uses a little more. I used my with milk and it lasted about 4 1/2 weeks - taking it every day.

I thought the same thing when I got it. It's vacuum packed. I think they do that to seal in the freshness. I opened mine and kneaded the package first to loosen it up. Then I transferred it to a container with a small measuring scoop to make sure I use the right amount in each of my shakes.

I have never had a problem with "mixing" it, although I've only done it in a blender with fruits, and not just shaken it up manually. The taste is fine. Sorry but I did not read any of the reviews you refer to. Vanilla is an option if you're concerned about liking the unflavored one.

Yes, when it starts just going back and forth it's time to transfer the mix to a separate container and stick it in the freezer for another couple of hours. Of course, you can eat it as soft serve immediately if you like!

With any of the brands of authentic Yacon syrup that I have tried, I find it is necessary to shake it vigorously before every use. I also flip it upside down after every other use to keep the solids thoroughly mixed. If you don't do that from day one, what you describe happens. When that has happened to me, I put a little hot water into the bottle and shake it until it is the consistency that allows it to pour. Most brands do not say "refrigerate after opening" though I think this brand may say that. I do not refrigerate mine because it does make it much harder to shake and remove from the bottle.

i didn't care for the texture a with day old mixture. I mix only what I am prepared to eat in one setting. I mostly use in my shakes.

No, Mary. You have to experiment for yourself. Start with less and give it a chance to rehydrate before adding more. I really recommend the Colorado Spice product, instead. Fresher taste. This one doesn't taste 'bad' per se--- and is more economical. Powdered tomato is not a cost effective replacement for canned paste, etc. Just a perfect ingredient in spice rubs and sprinkles, for backpackers, and also handy back-up for juice, sauce or paste in a pinch.

My palate isn't advanced at all so I can't detect any subtle changes. I have everyday whiskeys and I haven't been able to taste any changes in flavor or alcohol content in any bottle. Good luck and cheers.

I haven't refridgerated mine. I must be honest, I haven't tried it again after the initial first tasting...it was THAT bad. I will try the idea below with spicy mustard and see if that improves the taste
